We had a work dinner here (casual) from a recommendation to a colleague. I would call it a brasserie but I'm a Brit, so I think slightly differently to my US colleagues. Light and airy venue. Comfortable and amazingly friendly. Great recommendations from our server. Their seasonal recommendation of fresh water melon juice was spot on! Really good.

You can go to this place with complete confidence, go in a group, as a couple or alone, whatever you want, have a good time, just come with your companion and the money, the good staff with their first-class service takes care of everything else, I went with our work team and it was great, blessings and come everyone.

The place has this simple, relaxed charm that’s perfect for a morning catch-up or solo start to the day.

I tried the beet dip and the fried zucchini, both were absolutely incredible and definitely must-orders. They’re just a little different from your typical breakfast fare.

Service was warm and efficient
